'COME HOME RONALDO - UNITED REEL’, the message read as the plane flew over the stadium.

They also wrote on Twitter: "We are all united by our love for Cristiano both as a player and as a person. We stand united in our views and will not stop until we BRING RONALDO HOME!"

A famous return

Whether Ronaldo paid any attention to the message - or even saw it - is up for debate, but it’s easy to see why Manchester United would want the player back at the club after a season to forget under David Moyes.

The 29-year-old enjoyed a special relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, but left for the Santiago Bernabeu for a then-world record fee in excess of £80million back in 2009.

Having only won one La Liga and one Champions League trophy since the move, it’s not necessarily been the success he would have hoped for, and Manchester United fans will hope his love for the club could lure him back to England.
